If you loved Elliott I have one word. HAMILTON

The real reason I marry Haley is because of her personality... The second she insulted me i already know who I want-

Living with Sebastian is kind of like having a second cat that water's the crops and feeds the animals sometimes. He's pretty low maintenance and that's what I like because I literally have no time for anything else 😂

I actually did pick maru the first time playing. After getting to know all the villagers, i felt like she's the character I have the most in common with.

For me Shane is my favorite because his story personally made me feel for him because I have been in his type of mind set with depression and suicidal tendencies so I understand and relate to his character more than others.

Honestly, I just think Alex is a sweetheart. He's a great guy, he just needed a bit of time to improve himself, and the fact that he did and realized he wasn't the nicest at first is a big plus imo!! He's the only vanilla character I have ever married, cause every time i start from scratch I can't help but go back to this precious guy ;____;

I think I actually did pick Maru on my first save! She just seems so…. Actually driven & motivated, but unlike a lot of the other villagers she’s also super competent. She wants to do stuff but is actually doing it

I absolutely love how you didn't say bad things when came to shane. Everyone else says how he's a horrible choice and a person. When i first started Stardew valley i decided to choose Elliott for some reason but i felt sorry for him and i saw myself in him, dealing with depression and heavy drinking problems so i always choose him

as an ex-band/theatre kid, i can confirm that sebastian is THE REASON i bought and started playing stardew valley i also used to take computer science, so bonus points.

Her: people who picked Elliott got honors in high school and are super calm and collected… Me, a person with ADHD who barely scraped by in high school and has the attention-span of a goldfish: Heh! No. I just picked him because he was poetic and had gorgeous hair.

I chose Elliott for the reasons of - He writes books - I like his hair - Books. - I WRITE BOOKS SO YK RELATABLE - He was mysterious to me because for half of my first playthrough I had no idea where he lived but wanted so badly to marry him Also I am not at all calm soooo

I picked Sebastian because... I- he's good looking and let's be honest, he is way too similar to me. He may be slightly rude at first but honestly, understandably, most of the time you are literally having to stalk him to get to know him cause if you don't... you're not gonna get to talk to him at all

You came for me with Harvey- extroverted adult who collects introverts after the duct tape collection phase

i felt attacked sitting there admiring the Sebastian fanart thinking it looks like Corpse fanart and you come in with "TWO WORDS..." Spot on, in my case, for all points. I forgot I was a theater kid in middle school.

I picked Harvey mostly because he was actually one of the older marriage candidates and I didn't want to marry someone who was basically like a child to me. Teens to early/mid 20s? Noooo

My first play through Elliot is my husband. I had wandered around and he was one of the last ones I met. I fell in love immediately and knew I had to marry this man. I’m also a writer so I could rly relate to his struggles. Started a second run and I’m gonna go for Abigail, Sebastian will be the next spouse when I start the third play through. Save for Elliot I love the edgy ones Edit: did I also mention I’m a Minecraft nerd?😭

i picked haley and how did you literally get me spot on with the haircut thing??? lol love this video!!

i object about the savior complex! shane's romance may seem like saving him on the first glance, but it's not. in reality, you become the reason he decides to change himself. you only watch him getting better while being on his side, and that's really beautiful in my opinion. it'd be saving him if it was up to you to drag him out of his misery, but it's him who decides to go to therapy, it's him who decides to quit drinking, and it's him who decides to pursue his dream. he's not dependent on you. you as a player don't initiate him to make these choices - he makes them himself when he realises that you're on his side and he's not alone in his fight. and even when he gets better, its' shown that he still suffers from depression, but at this time he makes an effort to be a better person. i myself have mdd, and find shane to be extremely relatable character i feel for, and his route is inspiring.

Shane was on point but I will fight about him being savior complex bait, I will not only die on this hill, I will live every moment on it filled with rage /nm

Us maru lovers do exist. I chose her the first time and will never regret it.. i love her so much and she definitely underrated

I’m so concerned at how accurate this is. One of my friends always goes for Shane and it’s SPOT ON from the glasses to the savior complex and I’m a Sebastian Stan (pun intended) when you said corpse husband I about had a stroke

Maru was my first, I have always had a thing for short Queens and honestly I thought it was cool she was smart. Also that stargazing interaction was ADORABLE

I married Shane my first playthrough and everything you said was spot on, I wear baggy jeans, I’m blind as a bat and maybe have a little bit of a savior complex. But what really stood out to me when courting Shane was everything other than the alcoholism. His character arc is very well done for the most part, and very interesting to witness but I guess you could say I liked him despite all of it. I liked his personality, how he seems cold on the surface, very snarky, but is actually extremely sweet and caring. He has this sort of homely nature, kinda domestic? He doesn’t use flowery language and he’s very flawed, and that makes him feel more real to me. His 10 heart cutscene, for example, is kinda awkward and a little hectic in my opinion. He kisses you at a gridball game when he gets excited, which isn’t really the most romantic. But it feels very real in that way, how things aren’t always perfect and pretty and planned. He’s more than just his problems, he has hobbies and interests (even if they aren’t really fleshed out too much). He’s very caring towards animals, which is inspiring to me because I’m not really an animal person. Although he kinda backtracks when you marry him, I fault that on the game developers. But it also highlights how people are complicated and don’t keep their promises. How change is hard and it takes a lot of trial and error. Overall, I think a lot of people who like Shane are caring people who want others to be happy and maybe the effort Shane puts into changing makes them feel like they accomplished that. (I can’t believe I wrote this long of a paragraph about a Stardew valley character)

The first person I married was Haley. I didn't care about how people hated her or stereotyped her. She just caught my attention and she really is a good person. When I heard the description for if you married her first, it just didn't sound like me. But when I heard the description for Abigail, I remembered that on my first ever playthrough (which I stopped working on because I was lazy) I had planned on marrying Abigail. The description was close to perfect for hers. I still haven't married Abigail but if I had then that description would have blown me away by how perfect it was. This video was very good and correct. You are underrated and I hope that you will become more popular!

Suprised how much nicer these are than most videos on this ( especially with Elliot lmao )

For Elliot, the second one and the last one didn't apply to me. I picked Elliot because he's really sweet and my sister told me it's also because I'm into guys with long hair, which I didn't realise until she said that.

I actually snorted at Harvey’s “you own too many pillows/blankets” as I’m lay in bed with multiple pillows and blankets. 😂

Shane is very accurate for me. I'm not even kidding. I wear glasses, I have a slight saviour complex, I wear jeans everyday and I can't tell you enough how many compliments I have gotten for being nice. So yes. Thankyou. Shocked how accurate that was.

Okay, wh- how is this so damn accurate????? So in my first playthrough, I debated heavily between Elliott and Sebastian. Your descriptions of what Elliott fans are like, I was like, kinda accurate, but not really. Then we hit Sebastian, who I ended up picking in the end. Spot on, like, eerily spot on

Okay but how tf is the ur a 70 year old man thing for Emily so correct, like yea I'm a teen, but I have all the tendencies of an old man when it comes to music taste, language, daily activities, and even joints (my knees crack and grind when I extend them) and yea I married Emily

I picked Harvey as my first friend and husband in stardew valley. And everything you said, is true bout’ me, scary

You read me like a book with Shane, Leah, Alex, and Sam 😭😭😭

Elliot is my first choice and I was read to filth. Thank you for this 😭

As soon as you said wear glasses for Shane I knew I was about to get read to the tea😭😭

The part about originally wanting alex but then ending up with sam is so true

I went for Emily because I liked her hair and her genuinely unique personality. She loves her bird 🥺 She makes you clothes and is so cheerful and lovable and I was surprised to learn she wasn’t initially datable but I started playing after 1.5 sooooo 😇

Tbh I picked Elliot because he is driven and he is a friendly guy. He is also pretty buff for an author. Love the marriage life when he brews you coffee occasionally.

Bruh the Sam things are so accurate!!! I went after Alex, and then started a new game and now I’m dating Sam and it was sooo worth it

The Harvey one was pretty accurate,,, I decided within the first few in game days of my first ever time playing that I was going to go for Harvey and he continues to be my favorite

I picked Maru the first time I played the game because she was A) Smart, B) Kind, and C) Had hobbies/interests. Plus I really liked her portrait and actually thought she was really cute. And I am neither smooth-brained, nor did I have a galaxy phase, and yes, I do exist 😅

I still have galaxy backgrounds. 😂😂😂 But Maru seems so flat. She has soooo much potential. I definitely liked old Maru with the curls. My first two are Seb and Emily. It almost always is Seb.

I actually like Harvey because I have a protector's complex, I think. Kinda like the mom/dad thing, but more passionate and in many aspects of my life. What I probably mean to say is that Im as likely to end up locked in his basement as he is to be locked in mine because I need to protect him from everything and aaaahhh-

nah you were actually out to get me when you talked about Sebastian 😭😭😭

The Alex thing on sams slide… STOPPPP TOOO ACCURATE

How did this random video got me so accurate with Shane. I FEEL CALLED OUT!

First one: Shane Me: Had a crush on Shane since I saw him You probably wear glasses, wear jeans, and are nice Me: ..... How'd you know???

My favorite characters are Penny and Shane 😂😂 I definitely have a savior complex

The sam one literally shocked me , watching it i was like okay not really me and then that one part about alex came and it was surprising because i was literally thinking about it the moment it came on screen 😭😭 very good video btw!!! I enjoyed it and it was very fun to watch C:

I originally married Haley and then divorced her for Abigail cause she didn’t have enough personality for me and I can say they were both accurate although I kept my bangs

I'm kinda on the older side when it comes to fandoms but my first marriage candidate was Sebastian. I've always been into the emo/goth boys since I was in 6th grade so yeah. I was a scene kid myself who later turned classical goth so I always fell for guys who were very fashionable and/or darkly inclined lol. Not big on technology, but my husband who irl is actually named Sebastian(I do call him Sebby and other cute names) is but he's into retro tech(pre-2010s for you young people.) I was never a theater or choir kid, was a major delinquent though. I don't understand the obsession teen girls have with deep voices but then again I'm more into femme and gnc types and always have been.

MARU WAS MY FIRST CHOICE!! i saw her and immediately thought she was adorable. i love smart characters to start with so naturally she was my first pick

"If Sam's your favorite, you're a weeb" I feel called out hELP

i picked shane the first playthrough i ever did, and he’s also the only one i’ve ever picked in playthroughs i focused on romance, so like. honestly it’s not entirely inaccurate. i hate jeans tho and also don’t have glasses i just like sopping wet pathetic fictional men.

I actually wanted Sebastian before I got to know Sam and now I'm married to him

As someone who took one look at Abigail's two heart event and said, "Yep, that one," you got scarily accurate. I did not expect to get called out on being philosophical and having anxiety just because I said, "Purple haired gamer girl cool." But beyond that, I was really able to connect to her character and her story on my first playthrough. As a fellow rebellious child, I empathized with her frustrations and felt like I had a lot in common with her.

Totally thought this was going to go through all the voice lines from each character that speak to you or about you. WHOOPS (fun vid btw)

Definitely i've got too deep in sdv reddit page and ended up in this. I dont even know how to call it. Get rest, get some help, touch the grass and marry Shane XD

I wanted to romance Alex or maybe Sam for a little bit, but when I saw sebastian it was all over. (Wound up not liking Alex after a while) Sam is good friend, so is Penny. If I was straight I'd definitely want Penny

funny thing is that when I walked around meeting people for the first time I actually wanted to pick sam but chose alex instead. best decision I love him so much🥰

I felt SO CALLED OUT in the Shane one, like seriously, *you literally described me* and the worse or best part is that he's really my favorite, alongside Haley and Sebastian lol

Leah is my favourite, and must say not all that accurate for me. I like here because she lives outside of the town and is just as reclusive as me, plus she’s an artsy person who likes the woods. She’s by far the coolest lol

Elliot was my first pick. I did not take honors I actually had pretty bad grades all throughout highschool… but I write a lot of poetry, and I like how soft looking and eloquent he is.

I've never married or dated in SDV because I would rather keep living with Krobus. I'm also just indecisive about the marriage options, but if Krobus was a marriage candidate I wouldn't hesitate.

Sebastian was my first pick and after him I thought about Harvey or even Abigail and I felt so called out when you listed the things for all of them 😅

STOP MY FAVORITE IS SAM AND YOU GOT THE ALEX FACT COMPLETELY RIGHT HOW???

Why was this so spot on, my god!

I know someone who married Abigail because according to her, one of the things fathers fear most is losing their little girl & she really hated Pierre. 😨

I just started playing Stardew Valley recently, and all my friend unanimously agreed that I would like Elliott. They were correct. I still write nowadays, so he felt like a kindred spirit. He's also so romantic and sweet, I adore him to bits. I'm currently trying to get hearts with him, and he's so lovely. You are SO right about me listening to Taylor Swift, and loving Red especially!

I did pick Abigail and honestly the stuff you said was pretty spot on. Except that i have no anxiety and Christmas is my fav holiday but Halloween a close second.

You got me with the Leah omg 💀

Sebastian and Abigail, and very scarily accurate. Choir/ Theater kid when I was in HS, usually the friend everyone vents to, always on my phone or laptop, love Minecraft, known for deep conversations about random stuff, and I am very good at making friends but it takes me a bit to get close to people because I'm scared of coming off weird because of hobbies and interests

I chose Emily because she's so unapologetically herself (i was literally blushing at her 6 heart event) and the way she just scoots up to you and leans on your shoulder is exactly what I would do to someone irl if I wanted to cozy up to them 😭 it's only after we got married that I realized she can be a lil bit crazy sometimes butttt i love her anyway lol

My first play through I gave up on like Summer of year 1 and never went after anyone, but when I replayed it straight bolted for Sebastian.

the way you just read me like a book for Abigail...

i picked maru in my first play through… she’s the most like me, her reactions to most things are so cute and honestly i relate to her home life more than a little. a bonus was that demetrius told me to stay away from her and i didn’t want to

I picked Maru my first playthrough!! To be fair, I didn't use the wiki and progressed very slowly through the first couple of years and mostly would mine and visit robin for building needs. I did really enjoy Maru's cutscenes and liked her as a wife. My second playthrough, once I really got to know the candidates, I sought out Leah and married her as quickly as possible. Leah and Maru are both pretty handy around the farm.

I first wanted to marry Maru and came really close. Maru's really cute even in her current form, and she was nicer to me than anyone else right from the start. She's also relatable, as someone who was the "favorite kid" of my parents - it's not as good an experience as it sounds. But then what Demetrius said way at the beginning got to me, and I realized that of everyone, I'd be hurting Maru more than anyone else by making her live on a farm. I ended up marrying Abigail first playthrough. She's equally pretty and all she wants is to be an adventurer - which if anything, the farmer helps with. Which stereotypes should I be looking at then?

Maru was not my first choice, Emily was. (I am definitely a 70 year old man inside) However, Maru was my second spouse, and is now my one and only spouse choice from Vanilla. She's literally the best spouse. She still goes to work, she gets up early or stays up late to stargaze, she visits her parents on the weekends. Love how she still has a life and does stuff unlike many other spouses.

Wha How, how did you just- Like, except for the saviors complex, you literally just on point described me, how'd you-?

I swear every time I start a new farm I tell myself I’m going to marry someone else. Then I blink and I’ve married Sebastian again. What is wrong with me.

Haley is my favorite of all time and you nailed it all! 😭 Although I did like my bangs but no one else did! Here's a quote from that lovely time in my life: "Curly haired people don't look good with bangs." I beg to differ I looked cute but whatever

Mine was Maru and I am so surprised that other people found her pretty bland. I saw a fellow STEM girl and just attached myself to her immediately. The other people are probably more interesting but I didn’t invest as much time into them as her. And I totally agree that every previous design was better. I think bigger hair would’ve fit her character.

I picked Maru on my first save! It was partly because she's a cute nerd girl and partly because she's so excited to meet you at the start, and then I really liked her six-heart event. (Now I usually marry Elliott though!)

as a band kid and an ex cybersecurity major you nailed it with sebastian 😭

HELP WHY IS HARVEY'S SO ACCURATE 😭 LITERALLY ALL OF THEM MY GOD

Holy shit how did you know I use glasses 😂 nice vid!

Maru was ALMOST my first marriage candidate back when I just started and knew no one and I was talking to her in her house when Sebastian came out and I was like "oh my god who is he?!?" and then it just,, went downhill from there EDIT: WHEN U GOT TO SEBASTIAN I FELT SO ATTACKED BECAUSE I MAJOR IN THEATER. I HAVE,,, A BACHELOR'S DEGREE,,,, IN THEATER ARTS

she absolutely read me on sam too😭😭

I'm sure someone else has said this already, but I will too just in case. Anybody else, correct me if I'm wrong on anything! This is what I've gathered. Stardew Valley is the whole map, not including Fern Islands/Ginger Island (I think) or Calico Desert, so the town, the mountains, the farm, etc are Stardew Valley. Pelican Town is just the town itself, including the little area above town with the playground and community center. So Robin, Sebastian, Maru, Demetrius, Linus all live in Stardew Valley, but not Pelican Town. I think Marnie's ranch and Leah's cottage also count as outside of Pelican Town, but I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if the beach counts as Pelican Town or not, so Willy and Elliott may or may not be in Pelican Town too.

i just wanna say the going for alex originally but then ending up with sam is literally exactly what i did HOW DID U KNOW 😭

I chose Sebastian as my first candidate. It was just for fun at first (bc I had an emo phase in my early teens so Seb was somewhat relatable), but when I saw the frog cutscene I knew I married the right one. 😔✊️ Also he deadass changed the kitchen's wallpaper into skeletons. I'll never forget that.

Huge Sebastian simp here and it is so weird how I was in theatre AND choir but never thought of this as something that'd be associated with being hopelessly drawn to this character. Have the whole shoulder to cry on and the techie/internet addiction going on too.

Lmao Shaannee. I wear glasses, I wear jeans, and I wouldn't call it a saviors complex it's more of a desire to help people who are suffering. If I see someone struggling with addiction, depression, etc. I help and support them as much as I can.

Sebastian is a nerdy introverted emo who likes frogs and rain, and is practically ignored by his family most of the time. Hes just like me fr! I have no choice but to pick him! Also hes cute lol

Okay- die hard Elliott fan here. I will have you know that i am one of the bubbliest, most energetic & generally wild people in my friend group... ...but i do appreciate natural asmr (rain + storms). And I love me some candles🕯

elliott will have my heart forever and always, and most of those do be true although i never listened to tswift religiously xD HOWEVER i did write stories about my own characters and i miss it dearly hhh im not entirely sure that i took honors classes, they were all normal classes- and I've been told my voice is very nice to listen to so :D I wouldn't say im super calm, i can get overexcited easily, sand is annoying af and candles are so good tho- i actually have a candle that reminds me of how i headcanon elliott to smell xD

Sebastian with 1,000% accuracy and I’m proud

Nice video

Maru was my first!! I love the nerdy vibes and she is so cute!

shane ain't my candidate of choice, but i feel i simply must ask, now- is it uncommon to like jeans?? or jean shorts?? i always thought they were comfy and easy to wear :U
